Black Student Union, Latinos Unidos Fold At Head Royce School Oakland Black Student Union & Latinos Unidos Cease to Exist at Head Royce School Following Administration Ignoring Ongoing Requests About Systematic Change Oakland, CA] - Adult advisors to the Black Student Union and Latino’s Unidos at Head-Royce School located in the hills of Oakland, announced Thursday, December 5, they would be stepping down as adult sponsors of the student affinity groups following ongoing concerns that student groups and students with intersectional identities continue to be ignored. This has caused the two groups to cease to exist under the guidelines of the school. The Black Student Union and Latino’s Unidos offer an outlet for students of color and allies to talk about issues pertaining to identity, especially race, at an independent school where issues as these are often glanced over. Students, feeling ignored and powerless, are looking for an outlet to speak out about the issues they face at the school. Over the past few years, the administration has failed to address issues of students saying racial slurs, faculty not being held accountable for placing students of color in uncomfortable positions, and not addressing the culture which Head-Royce possesses as a private institution which does not support its minority students. In spite of concerns from students and faculty, the school continues to boast about the school’s “diversity” and system which claims to support students of color and those with intersecting identities. Students at the school are ready to escalate this issue, in light of the hate in our country and ignorance from our school which are displaying the same attitude of those running our country. This was provided To Zennie62Media by Ivan Garcia, Junior At Head Royce in Oakland. Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
